KARACHI: All rounder Shahid Afridi has said that he wanted to achieve the 400-wicket mark and 8000 runs in One Day Internationals before retiring.
He stunned everyone on Sunday by announcing his decision to retire after World Cup 2015.
He said that he wanted to complete 400 wickets as well as 8000 runs in ODI format.

The star allrounder said that he would continue his career by playing Twenty20 matches for Green-shirts.
Shahid Afridi has made retirement announcements before.

In an astonishing decision, he again announced retirement from Test cricket after captaining only the first Test against Australia.
